Reading

Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.

1. ☉ Sun in Capricorn · house 6

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

   In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

2. ☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

   In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

3. ☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 7

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

4. ♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 6

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

5. ♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 6

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

   In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 11 ℞

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

   Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

7. ♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

8. ♅ Uranus in Aries · house 9

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

9. ♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2 ℞

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

   In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Taurus · house 10 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

The tightest aspects

1. ♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.08°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

   Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

2. ♂ Mars △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.10°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

   Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

3. ⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.12°

   What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

   The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

4. ☊ True Node ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.18°

   The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

5. ☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.17°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

6. ☽ Moon △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.64°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

   Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
